civil Rights North and South

The st. Louis Globe admits that Sam
Jones is right in saying that not one
vote south of Mason and DiXon's line
could be found to restore the negroes to
slavery, but claims that the true ques-
ton is, how many men in the South
are willing to grant negroes the same
legal and moral rights enjoyedby them
selves. Why, just as many as north OF
the NJ. and D. line. Are negroes
granted all the legal and moral rights
growing out of emancipation and cItl-
zenship in Northern states? Certainly
not. Every one knows they are ex-
cluded from hotels, from first class
passage on railways, from white schools,
etc., Notwithstanding they have the
same laws for their protection in both
sections. 1t is not question OF law at
all, but of sentiment, and this Sentl-
ment is as strong in the North as III
the South, and were there a majority
OF negroes in the northern states as
there are perhaps in few of the south
ern states, the active minority OF whites
would strive to keep, and would KEEP
the management of their affairs out OF
the hands of the blacks, The G ID
and every honest Republican must adj
NIT this. They would no more think
of permitting the blacks to fill theil
state offices and represent them in Con
gress because of a right born Of mum
bers merely, than they would think OF
turning over to their charge and man
agement, the conduct and control OF
their schools, religious and reformatory
institutions. They would spurn the
idea, and with justice too. If it be-
came necessary to do so, they would
not hesitate to resort to such tactics a:
| would enable them to keep in their OWL
hands the management of their OWL
affairs, and they would not want fol
good and sufficient reasons to justify
their methods. If this is true, and ii
is useless to deny it, then it is alto
gether needless to indulge so much
clap trap as the Globe-Democrat and
other Republican papers make use Of
against the people of the south. Iftht
South be solid, the reason for it will be
found in the abuse heaped on the peo
pie of that section by the Northern
press, for no other reason than thai
their political OK is gored.-Emporia
Democrat.

The Postal Telegraph.

Elk Senatar Mcdonald, Of Iddiana, is
opposed to the idea of a postal tele.
graph. He says he don't believe ii
the Government taking hold of any
private enterprise. We must not give
the government too much power" Sc
say some of our statesmen and some
say otherwise, but is this work queS-
ton of power to the government or of
convenience to the people? 1t has the
look of good thing if at our larger
postoffices man can go and have his
communication sent as wick as light
ming, instead of being a day on the way
and not have to pay what is charged
now. In connection with this now
much discussed question of a govern
ment telegraphy is the fact not gener-
ally known that the electric telegraph,
the invention of professor Morse, was
originally constructed and operated by
the government. This was in 1874, the
line being built from Washington to
Baltimore under appropriations made
by Congress, and was by a clause in
the appropriation act placed under the
superintendent of the postmaster-gen-
eral-Morse receiving a salary for his
services in supervising it. After the
first years trial the government sup
port and control was withdrawn, owing
to the report of the postmaster-general
that the expenses greatly exceeded the
receipts for the benefit of the govern.
ment, and it from that time became
entirely private enterprise. In his
report suggesting its abandonment by
the government, the postmaster gen.
eral had this is say, indicating that be
was about equally afraid to retain con-
nection with the enterprise, and to LET
it alone. He says the use of an instru-
nent so powerful for good or for evil
can not with safety to the people be
Left in the hands of private individuals
uncontrolled by law.

A Sight to Feast the Eyes.

There was a sight in Buckskin Gulch
yesterday that would have made the
Oldest placer miners heart leap with
joy. The surface gravel had been
washed off, and the large cut in the
jagged bedrock for over 100 feet was a
mass of glittering gold. In places
where it had lodged in the crevices it
could be picked up by the spoonful.
About a pint of nuggets, from $40 to
$50 in weight, were picked up in the
forenoon by Charles Dudley, and about
twenty pounds of gold had already been
taken to the bank, which had been
Scooped out of the potholes. No very
large pieces had been found, the largest
would probably not go over three
ounces. The clean up, which will pro-
badly take two or three days yet to
make complete, will be by far the
largest ever made in the camp. 1t is
estimated to reach fifty pounds, or in
the neighborhood of s., OO0.-Coeur d.

Many of the leading figures in Con-
tinental politics are suffering physical
ills. The Gar of Russia is slowly re-
covering from the measals, Prince Bis
mark has the rheumatism, Emperor
William of Germany has just had a
severe attack of old age, Crown Prince
"Jnser Fritz has had an alarming
return of his throat trouble, the King
of Holland and the King of Bavaria
may die at any moment and the Sultan
of Turkey is said to be laboring under
severe nervous depression. 1t is busy

The Abilene reflector. [volume] (Abilene, Kan.) 1883-1888, 1887-11-17

1t may be taken for granted that the
people are ready for government tel
egraph. So much being conceded, it
becomes proper to discuss the great
question in it's details, and those de-
tails promise to be extraordinarily nu-
merous, but some of them will present
difficulties that must challenge states
manship to its most patient and perSis-
tent labors. Senator Cullom, it is said,
will give his whole time to the conduct
of this reform. Senator Edmunds is
also on record as the author of harm
less postal telegraph bill. The sena-
tors from the Pacific coast, too,
will find it uncomfortable to oppose
any movement in the popular direction.
But there will be many delays upon
which Jay Gould undoubtedly counts.
If Senator Cullom shall get through
the forthcoming session without devot-
ing the whole of his time to the amend
ment of the interstate commerce act,
he will at best find very few hours
left for the vast scheme of telegraphy
needed by the people. Yet, with all
the delays that must ensue in the ar
rangement of a matter so stupendous,
the popular feeling is well defined, and
it will be necessary to give heed.-Chi-
cago Herald.
